Comments:
Temporarily Yours is an okay agency. My counselor has kept me busy with various assignments.
If you decide to register with them, quote a high rate. Once you quote a rate, they will not make an effort to raise your rate.
It took them close to 10 business days to respond to my request for a higher rate(The job was more detailed than what they described). I played a very irritating game of phone tag with my counselor. Only when I terminated the assignment were they willing to raise the rate. Even then, it was a very small raise(very very small).
They act as if I should be glad to receive $14/hr for a word processing secretary assignment. It's 1998 folks, raise the rates.
